I agree with the above comments and also mention that those numbers you got are because you never advertised this Forums as a place to go and socialize with fellow IPMS members and share your work! All those numbers show is that the organization did not care enough for it's members to advertise and push this Forums so others like me could share our work and socialize with friends in the organization. Now that you are shutting this down; you're shutting down my opportunity to stay in touch with friends like Gil, Kevin, Gary and others who frequent these boards here and aren't on any other Forums. Sure I could see them at as Nationals but at this rate with all the Nationals only going to the east and central part of the country, I'm cut off from ever attending another one so that is an option that is also eliminated. For those who wish to stay in touch; I've posted three links to the best Forums I frequent and would love it if you could join me there on at least one of them. Otherwise; it was nice knowing you and given the lack of west coast Nationals for the foreseeable future; it might be time to reconsider my membership here since I won't ever have any more access to my friends here anymore. Not that I have any status or importance to this organization, but I still value the friendships and camaraderie of this organization that I will soon be losing through the loss of these Forums.

Before it’s too late, I want to thank Eric Aitala for his skillful and even handed oversight of the Forum for so long. It has been an important and useful and easy to navigate sight for our membership. Significantly, you have maintained order and civility- to a degree not often seen on the Internet. Well done! Respectfully and gratefully, Nick Filippone.

I guess we should all leave the Internet then! That thing is a REAL mess!

It is, but FB in general has serious issues in terms of general content / AU slop, privacy and such... E

Actually, the IPMS/USA Facebook page is very well managed, thanks to Eugenie Ray and her team. It's a good place to interact around IPMS things.

Ah the unregulated mess that is FB.... I dont bother. And I created the Page and Group. E

IPMS-USA banter and pix forum activity is alive and well on FaceBook....!

Bottom Line Up Front: Building a Gunpla is for sure out of my lane. For those that don’t know, Gunpla is the kit, and Gundam refers to one of many TV shows. In other words, Gundam is animated Gunpla. This is the second Gunpla I have built. The first was a simple small kit for an in house model contest for my local club. Gundam Barbatos is a much more complex build. Having said that, assembly was straight forward as long as the instructions are followed closely. It turns into a nice kit, if you make a mistake, like I did, it is easy to recover from since no glue is involved. It is a fun build that doesn’t really take that much time to finish. Highly recommended for Gunpla modelers or for those modelers looking to try something different. For those looking for an enjoyable build, this is a good option. Highly recommended.

I'll stand by my comment..... true, your service to our country shows a willingness to put yourself at physical risk, and that is in no way cowardly. However, there's also intellectual courage which is sometimes just as hard (just ask the ONE juror in the murder case in Mass.) and I believe the Eboard showed NO intellectual courage, and in fact CHOSE to bypass any chance for negative feedback by not telling the membership about the decision at the IPMSUSA business meeting in Ft. Wayne, so I will call the decision cowardly at the very least. If you're offended..... so be it! I guess you can always kick me off this forum if you feel the need. Gil H. #10803

Much of the recriminations could have been avoided by the simple expedient of informing the membership up front and ahead of time. One person’s “ legacy application “ is another’s familiar comfort zone. The march of time and technology is apparently inexorable, but that is not an excuse for leadership insensitivity.
